Was This For Real

I happn'd upon this old clip of Bay City Rollers on a US TV show in the mid 70s.... the audience steals the show IMO

[bobbinwales]

Am sure I saw Bobbisox dancing there??

That's both hilarious and sweet.

I loved te Bay City Rollers.

The clip is from America's NBC channel on 20 November 1975:

The last time I saw older ladies having so much fun was watching live wrestling at the town hall in the 70s, Giant Haystacks in the ring.

Much handbag waving and screaming.

That can't be real ... can it?

[barry1010]

Course it's real - reminds me of an evening at a Warner's hotel

[pastafreak]

Lol! They are all dancing and bopping to the music...and one woman is knitting! Hilarious!
And not a red-neck in sight.

Like I said, a typical evening at Warner's.

[pastafreak]

I'd say there's a few wanna-be hippies there!

Trick photography?
Otherwise a derby and Joan night out?

It may have been a typical audience for the Ann Margret show but I doubt it. I think they did like to do skits on this show so maybe they brought in that audience as part of the joke, perhaps taking the mick abit out of the musical lack of talent of the new UK popstars to hit the US shores.. It certainly wasnt diverse though.

'maybe they brought in that audience as part of the joke'

I'm pretty sure that's the case.
